When you learn to understand basic financial ratios and concepts, your decision making abilities are greatly increased.

Administrative or Accounting professionals are the backbone of almost every organization. Your work might run the gamut—handling phone calls, coordinating meetings, creating reports and a million other things. You’re working the front line. You’re behind the scenes, confidently handling it all. But when the discussion turns to “the numbers,” it’s easy to feel intimidated by the jargon … and a little uncertain about what it really means.

A basic understanding of accounting principles is all you need to feel more assured and give you the insight you need to make more informed decisions.

This webinar is intended for all financial & non-financial professionals and is designed for those who need to read and understand financial statements and will explain how to analyze these statements in order to make better decisions.
